    Winemaker Notes

    Our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon,5% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 1% Malbec. The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is anchoredby one of our most prestigious vineyards, Val Peline's Terra A Lago. Terra A Lago'smeticulously farmed vineyard is in the foothills of the Alexander Valley at the base ofthe Mayacamas Mountain range and contributes massive tannins and dark fruit. Theaddition of Petit Verdot gives this wine its depth, Merlot adds sweetness and Malbeccontributes a hint of soft blueberry fruit. It's a wine that packs a punch, exhibitingflavors of blackberry, black cherry, bay and thyme with an oak profile of vanilla andtoasted nuts. Its soft, rich tannins make it a very approachable wine that is ready todrink now but equally suitable for hanging onto for years.

    Murphy-Goode Winery Image
    Twenty years ago, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready shared a vision: grow distinctive grapes, produce delicious wine, have fun and make friends in the process. They founded their three-family partnership in 1985 and launched the brand with two wines: estate grown Fumé Blanc and Chardonnay.

    In the beginning, only the Murphy family's ranch and the Murphy-Goode Vineyard provided the grapes. Over the years, Murphy-Goode Winery steadily increased production, expanding the winery capacity and augmenting the harvest with fruit from the winery's "grower partners," local farmers and neighbors who shared the Murphy-Goode vision.

    Initially the partners custom-crushed their grapes at a neighboring winery; consultant Merry Edwards guided the winemaking. After constructing a modest production facility on Tim Murphy's Alexander Valley ranch in 1987, they hired Winemaker Christina Benz. Chris made fifteen vintages of Murphy-Goode wine before turning the winemaking over to David Ready Jr. in 2001.

    In recent years, the winery's focus has shifted from primarily white wine to distinctive red wines, particularly Bordeaux blends. Today, Murphy's three sons oversee the vineyards. Dave Ready's two sons make the wine. With exceptional grapes, inspired winemaking and the guiding values of the founding partners, the Murphy-Goode team is entering a fresh, new era of excellence.

    While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
